Home-Clubber appears every week in the Guardian Guide and has done since 2004, so that's well over 200 cartoon strips to chose from when putting the book together so they quality will be high, I'm sure!

One of my first jobs was to animate the Home-Clubbers for use as mobile downloads, I did over 60 of them. It was great fun trying to squeeze as much animation as I could from a single drawing, I really learned my craft doing so many of these, the trick was to communicate the original joke but to also add something to make it worth while paying for.

To celebrate the release of the book I have posted one of the episodes onto YouTube, you can view it below.

Keep a look out for it in all good book shops. Not the bad ones, they won't have it.

Take a look at this video posted on YouTube the other day, what do you think it could be?

The creature definitely has a beak of some sort and a large round body/head. I commuted from Redhill to Brighton for two years and I've never seen anything like it. I have a feeling there's more where that one came from...

The Director's Cut of my 2009 Straight 8 film "Monster" is now online! Originally shown at the Soho Rushes Short Film Festival earlier in the year, this version includes the extended ending featuring illustrations by Melissa Bramley. One of which can be seen below.

This is the first time it has been made available to view online. Just in time for Halloween!
